I had to buy more of Dutchmill's wonderful tulips, since today is the last time we'll see those this year! I picked up some donuts from Race and the first bluefish of the season from PE&DD. I checked out the elk meat at Raghoo and think I might try their elk burger next Monday, although Roaming Acres bison also looks interesting. Central Valley has good-looking mozzarella and Rising Sun beef has several kinds of steak and other cuts. Lani has young shallots and garlic -- I bought some shallots to have with my bluefish tonight. Phillips was apparently the only stand with asparagus today, but Madura has a variety of produce as well as many kinds of mushroom.

Race is here with many flowering and other plants as well as honey and baked goods. Madura has many vegetables, mushrooms, and flowering plants. Lani has edible flowers, greens, scapes, cut herbs, and salad greens, along with various kinds of onion family items. Hudson Valley Duck Farm has smoked duck breast this week along with ducks and other duck products.

Wednesday, April 18, 2012

Otherwise, things are more or less as usual, with Raghoo's elk meat, Roaming Acres bison, pork, and beef, and PE&DD's delicious fish.

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

There isn't much news today, aside from Oak Grove's TOMATO PLANTS and rumors of asparagus for next week -- maybe!!!! Today there are some new greens, but the main item around the market is flowers -- flowering branches, tulips, roses, anemones, daffodils. It bodes well for Friday and Saturday, when there will be plenty for Spring celebrations.

Monday, April 2, 2012

It's a smallish but exotic Greenmarket today, with all sorts of special items. In addition to Race's ramps, Hudson Valley Duck Farm's ducks and duck products, Roaming Acres ostrich and emu eggs and bison, pork, and ostrich meat, there are delicious fresh fish (PE&DD), young garlic and shallots (Lani), and all sorts of honey (Andrew's).

I bought flounder, spinach, and baking potatoes (Healthway), as well as gorgeous tulips (Dutchmill). Dutchmill also has herb flats and Phillips and Race have flowering plant flats and produce. Consider Bardwell has their chips and cheese, but didn't bring meat in today. (They'll be here with meats on Friday.)

How I'm dealing with the heat, thanks to the Greenmarket.

Just finished two ears of Sycamore's sweet corn with Ronnybrook's sweet butter. I'm about to have Berried Treasures and Norwich Meadows raspberries and Samascott blueberries with Hammond's peach yogurt. Dinner will be a sort of Nicoise salad with Eckerton and Norwich's heirloom tomatoes, Muddy River's potato and lettuce, Stokes Farm's purple string beans, and Italian canned tuna with hardboiled Quattro's egg.Staying cool is the goal!
